What Merchants Think

Merchants generally appreciate the functionality that Launchpad provides, particularly its automation features for scheduling campaigns and sales events. However, there is significant dissatisfaction with the app being available exclusively to Shopify Plus users, which many find misleading and frustrating given that it could benefit a broader range of merchants.

Key Strengths

Automation of sales and promotional events, including hero image and messaging updates.
Easy setup of discounts per item, collection, or a combination of both.
Automatic switching of themes and running scripts, saving time and effort.
Real-time sales monitoring during events provides useful insights.

Common Concerns

App is restricted to Shopify Plus users, causing accessibility issues for non-Plus merchants.
Limited ability to run or schedule multiple promotions simultaneously.
Lack of essential features like password protection for promotions.
Misleading information on the app's availability and functionality.
Usability issues such as non-functional buttons for some users.

Final Thoughts

Overall, Launchpad is highly valued for its automation capabilities and is regarded as an essential tool for managing sales and promotions by those who can access it. However, its limited availability to only Shopify Plus users has drawn criticism, as many feel its features should be available to a wider Shopify user base. Merchants are hopeful for increased accessibility and feature enhancements in the future.

Scheduling campaigns and releases is a feature relevant to any merchant. Writing this from the perspective of a shop owner that currently works solo and physically cannot be present every weekend to update important details, as much as I'd like to. I'm part of Shopify's demographic for which Shopify Plus is prohibitively expensive. I'll continue my hunt for options, but I would've loved to have used a native tool like this. The features advertised by this app should be available to all merchants by default.

Really!? Only for Shopify Plus... not how it is displayed on the app page, can't anyone in Shopify please fix this misleading information...or put the app out free as it says...without conditions? This is really weak...

How can shopify be missing so many basic things? The Shopify App store should have filters for users to find apps easier. Example: LaunchPad... nowhere does it say it's only compatible with Shopify Plus plan or higher... It lets me install it and then says it's not compatible... Why?

So far not a single button has worked. Looks like it is completely broken. I don't have a single positive thing to say, but they require more characters to submit this review.

We use launchpad to automate the creative on site for all of our sales and promotional events. It makes switching the hero image and messaging very easy so that when the sale day arrives, we can focus on revenue and pushing it out on additional channels rather than the image or copy being incomplete.

We love Launchpad! The ability to have a dedicated place to launch discounts per item, per collection or a mix of those is amazing. Automatic theme switching and scripts running is also time saving and so professional for our store. When an event is live, watching sales and how Launchpad report on the event is a one of a kind experience. Our team loves Launchpad and is great not having the need for third party apps that handle more inefficient methods for runnning sales as an automated process.

Launchpad is a good tool but I feel it lacks a few features. You can only have one launchpad live at a time. Also, you can't password protect a launchpad promotion which would be useful.

our only regret with Launchpad is not using it earlier. it is now an absolute must for us in every Promo or holiday sale event. it has more uses but for us knowing that everything will work flawlessly during a big sale make it an absolute must. can't suggest it enough

This does have some great features. However, it would be nice if we could run more than one sale at a time. Or even schedule more than one product launch at a time for the month. The launchpad will not enable me to do more than one thing...very limiting. Any upgrades coming soon? Pretty please?
